Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for the company [7].

However, with enhanced cost control, profit growth is anticipated to rebound in the future.

However, gross margins improved for most brands due to discount control. The revenue from franchise and online channels continued to decline year-on-year, while direct sales returned to positive growth with a 5.2% increase year-on-year in Q2 [11]. Cost and Profitability Analysis - The gross margin improved by 2.1 percentage points year-on-year in Q2 due to strict discount control.
